> openfile "&Dell_shared:bin_locs_etc.txt"

At this point, I am wondering why you would want to make this a shared
file. Every time you open the file you are completely trashing all of
the data in the file and replacing it with the imported data. What's the
point of sharing the file in that situation? If Panorama Enterprise
worked the way you seem to want it to, every time anyone on the network
opened the file all of the changes others had made would be zapped.

Perhaps this is one of a set of files that you have shared and you are
under the impression that you can't mix shared and single user files?
That is not the case, you can mix and match as needed. I suspect that
you really want this particular file to be a single user file, with
copies on each person's computer.

Openfile statements are fine -- it's Openfile "&somefile" that is the
problem. (BTW, openfile "+somefile" is ok.)

Hope this makes the situation clearer.
